Frequently asked questions
Notarize — a service offered by Proof — is the industry leading solution for online notarization. Embedded within the service is the byproduct of eight years worth of work as our namesake, the Notarize Network℠. The Network is made up of thousands of carefully selected notaries who have not only been extensively vetted and trained, but accomplished (and respected) experts across the industry. When you need a notarization, they’ll serve as notaries. When you need identities verified and the risk associated with doing so eliminated, they’ll serve as trusted referees. The best part? They’re available through Proof 24/7 from any WiFi enabled device with a camera. (Bonus points: notaries and trusted referees are typically available within 2-seconds once you’ve requested their services.)
Online notarization is just another method of performing notarizations. A document notarized online is as legally valid as one notarized via traditional paper-based notarization. Online notarizations are valid and enforceable in every state with their validity determined by applying the law of the notary’s commissioning state. As public officials of their state, notaries must perform notarizations in compliance with the laws of their state, and every state recognizes properly performed notarizations of other states.
Yes. Signers have the flexibility to complete a transaction together on a shared device, simultaneously on multiple devices, or in separate notary meetings. Each signer must complete the identification process separately and signers who miss the initial meeting can still get their signatures notarized in a subsequent notary meeting.

In June of 2023, we announced Proof: the next era of Notarize and a natural evolution of what we’ve been working to accomplish over the past eight years. Proof is now our company and our platform — through which you’ll be able to access Notarize as one of our offerings. In other words, Proof is everything you already know and love about the Notarize platform, but even better.
